NCL Jewel: A Good Value

Sail Date:
February 2014

Destination:
Western Caribbean

Embarkation:
New Orleans

1. Background: we are late-fifties, with 30 cruises on many cruise lines and 11 cruises on NCL.

2. Review: Overall a good value based on low price, great itinerary, decent service, decent food, decent entertainment. This ship and this cruise line lacks the "Wow" factor of other lines; but the low price makes it a good value.

a. Embarkation. Smooth and fairly efficient. If you get there early (before noon) plan to wait in lines (security and check-in) for about an hour before boarding.

b. Itinerary: excellent. 4 Stops in Belize, Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya. All stops were good or great scuba diving locations. Plenty of time to enjoy shore excursions or just enjoy a beach day.
